Vanquish 03:55
Take an inch of my soul day by day Tell me it will heal when all I feel is pain I’ve been hanging onto every word you say This gives me hope so you can then take it away The inconsistent logic seems so typical Tell me I’m insane If I could strip myself of your disinformation And let this go When you realize time’s against you it’s too late With the worlds opposition tempting your fate You know you’re not the only one to wish me death Your edifice destroyed with just one breath Where I exclaimed the word that seemed too cynical Frame me the profane So they can shake themselves awake from incantations And loose control The secret breached with just one sound Recant the lie you once espoused A vanquished truth once built to last Disclosed only upon the face unmasked Who knew wars fought against us were subliminal Learn to walk away When you’re ready to break these chains And quit grasping for safety Just let me know Even if I don’t come for you now I’ll end up face to face with you somehow One of us won’t leave this room alive I’ll see you bear the wounds I hold inside At what point do our own thoughts become criminal There’s nothing left to say If you can’t seem to reason with Being free to keep this feeling You’ve sold your soul

So let this be the statement of our time I am the bridge between you and realms unseen to eyes Beyond the confines of stagnant self perception I dwell in shadows of agony and mire Beckon the hand to return me from the fire Dragging down the titans of my preconception The rate of change that has no end Take a look within and alter again Relinquish every principle I fault I test my strength against his jaw Now that’s a cross to bear The sacred age of play pretend Baiting for the sharks you call your friends Distinguished in a sense that you’re more lost Than anyone that takes your heart It’s your flesh to share Omit the shrine Callous is my heart Cold as the soul-forsaken Enshroud the eyes Ripped the fuck apart Never again be taken By occulted signals in between The fabric of reality And childish dreams Nothing’s real to me I shit you not You give me empty faith of false design Nihilistic visions that you prophesied to me Worlds enflamed Destruction unquantified Artificial intelligence has engineered your mind I might think that your free will is a self construct A manifestation of what religious institutions imparted on you I want to live l just want to live without conforming to the media You can tell me that our freedom isn’t paramount Your words serve to deescalate each dialogue where the truth is found What more can I give when sensibility was never enough? I know that you are well intentioned But I can see fear stricken in your eyes Never try again Distaste that undermines ascension Let’s say everything has a reason How about the hate you hope subsides When it never can Deciphering symbols within Unveil the path where we begin To discover the light where you feel safe The silence keeps you holding on To apathy when all is lost Now syphoning your life away Deciphering symbols within Unveil the path where we begin Discovering the light that keeps you safe The silence keeps you holding on To apathy when all is lost Now syphoning your life away So let this be the statement of our time I am the bridge between you and realms unseen to eyes Beyond the confines of stagnant self perception Yeah

I spit gold into the well You drank filth until you fell Your eyes vague and cold as hell Your soul so blemished you can't sell Unified with emptiness I manifest the artificial planet You interface My creation Within a shared synthetic dream Buried beneath this deep Far as your eyes can see Walls adorned with blades Believe your weapons keep you safe You'll never shield yourself from fate Nor the hell I can create Alignment with abundance Will bring every weapon I conceive You will displace Whats imminent Within this shared synthetic dream Buried beneath this deep Far as the eye can see How satisfied Will your eyes be when enshrined In artificial moonlight? Waste my own life In my enemies disguise Enslaved behind the eyes Two souls entwined Bound by simulated eyesight And worlds we sacrifice How satisfied Will my eyes be when enshrined In artificial moonlight? Never comply Awaiting false reply No purpose found inside I spit gold into the well You drank filth until you fell Your eyes vague and cold as hell Your soul so blemished you can't sell Unified with emptiness I manifest the artificial planet You interface My creation Within a shared synthetic dream Buried beneath this deep Far as your eyes can see Can see

Deep down within The wraith brumates And wears your skin Harvesting your fear and hatred So here’s where we begin To vanquish dismay Sink or swim In the currents eroding your mind insane Exalt my name The shadows emit In agony and vain resistance No matter how far away Like you I take this path entwined With infernal howls and abstract design Where the light appears to fade Exhume the heart that’s torn You spoke like you were chosen for this Is there no cause that you’d die for? Because your tombstone reads like a hieroglyph The somber air of a burial ground Where the ether is charged With a sensation of your impending death And this is how your meaning was found By calculating the price of the soul bartered and bet I bet you wish you had kept Because these shadows never sleep Until the knife turns in your chest like a lock and key The woven web of pre-destiny The architect preys upon the devotion you bleed All encompassing The joy that our hometown intends to bring Christening “Summoned again” The voices in the wall Reminding us to mourn for who we are Culpable Degenerate My friends will meet tonight The psilocybin shaman turns his eye Following I light my cigarette I begin to feel the tension manifesting Alive and breathing This world Consuming us all By the mercy of The starlight and the trees Above me and beneath this Rivers reflection Consuming us all By the mercy of The starlight and the trees Above me and beneath this Rivers reflection All encompassing The joy that our hometown intends to bring Christening “Summoned again” The voices in the wall Reminding us to mourn for who we are Culpable Degenerate Drop dead gorgeous and holographic Hopeful yet tragic Wonderland without This rage subverting me May Saturn oversee Dissociation from These impartial memories

You could role like a pig in filth all day Mouth writing checks like you got hell to pay And if you can’t meet me at a buck fifty five I’ll still watch the life drain right from your eyes I own too much to mind anything you say But too much damn pride to just walk away Too much bad blood these fists still need to feel And too much clout for you bitches not to kneel Wrong turn south For the soul you traded away There’s no price tag In this Sacrificial cult Only way out Is through the lives we take In a body bag Make em burn, make em bleed, make em pray for death Depending on the season You couldn’t stop the reckoning I bring Even if you found the reason My hounds of hell live on unchained For nothing else than to watch you break So close your tab and run your ass home We won’t cease fire until we breath smoke Wrong turn south For the soul you traded away There’s no price tag In this Sacrificial cult Only way out Is through the lives we take In a body bag Allegiance to crucification Tinge your ashes red with rage The frequencies enshroud you in the flame Burn Bitch Burn Burn bitch I’ll peer through the eyes To watch the light dull from inside of you Listen for the life mute in the cries To assuage the hope that has kept you blind Now entombed No empathy when you force my hand Around the neck to smite the cult where they stand Where cadavers fall wait for the drop Buried far beneath may you be forgot I could be singing a different tune If my friends weren’t manipulated by you You manufactured the thoughts we keep Now I activate them only to watch you bleed Reclaim the web Reframe the waste Refrain always Retain our way Reframe Got a lot of shit that I don’t need Still got the appetite to watch you bleed Too much bad blood these fists still need to feel And too much clout for you bitches not to kneel Wrong turn south For the soul you traded away There’s no price tag In this Sacrificial cult Only way out Is through the lives we take In a body bag

Bring the war to me I spit on the throne of gods Who shed blood before my feet A sight for trenchant eyes That cherish your defeat The purveyor of lies Who swore that I’d be fine I let you go From realms beneath in this Psychological war machine A mind of self destruct inscription The worlds glory lost on me in a Web of silence weaved within You then made Your remark Surrender because Nothing will change Your defiance isn’t strength Authenticity is fake We’re free when we’re enslaved Silent cult Chemical Dehumanize Everyone with this Sense of worship we displace No identity no face Imprisoned if awake They’ll kill us all If we don’t congregate and take this back The technocracy attempting to redesign the culture and collective Into something no longer recognizable Every institution lied to us in the interest of compelling us to perform tasks that strengthen their objective Your compliance breeds culpability Who’s the fascist now mother fucker You then made Your remark Surrender because Nothing will change Your defiance isn’t strength Authenticity is fake We’re free when we’re enslaved Silent cult Chemical Dehumanize Everyone with this Sense of worship we displace No identity no face Imprisoned if awake In waves the fires pass (simulacra) Untold milleniums (simulacra) We parallel at last (simulacra) Refined simulacrum Simulacra dies A drop in the ocean Of consciousness Please don’t go Forever alone Where ideologies ensue Like you’re fresh out California Imagination taken from within you Because We aim to fire These shots for fun And speak like we don’t give a fuck We’re the rabid dogs you muzzled with Mandates you bestowed upon us That’s right You then made Your remark Surrender because Nothing will change Your defiance isn’t strength Authenticity is fake We’re free when we’re enslaved Silent cult Chemical Dehumanize Everyone with this Sense of worship we displace No identity no face Imprisoned if awake

Now I’ll demonstrate an impact like never seen You won’t contend stripped of these notions of sovereignty By forces within me that brought you to your knees When confronted with the truth of which I speak Your mind and heart finally meet To what do I owe this sojourn of deceit? Let’s say you’ve come to see what colors you bleed Because what’s inside of you seems obscure to me Embedded scripts in fragments of This code; does it feel like home enough? The archon speaks in deja vu: Summits I’ve reached to get through to you. The throne once fraught with war I’ll create But the crown fits like it’s all the same I am the one alpha and omega You are a casualty in my simulation And every time you turn you face towards the sun You’ll speak my name knowing my reign has only begun Your mind a mere extension of me A limb to which my intentions breed Motive for you and control for me I am the cause you live and breath Embedded scripts in fragments of This code; does it feel like home enough? The archon speaks in deja vu: Summits I’ve reached to get through to you. The throne once fraught with war I’ll create But the crown fits like it’s all the same Enshrined Is your pledge unto my Armageddon These eyes Foresee the famine impending Fuck Your mind a mere extension of me A limb to which my intentions breed These eyes foresee your offerings You shall rise in the echelons of my dynasty Embedded scripts in fragments of This code; does it feel like home enough? The archon speaks in deja vu: Summits I’ve reached to get through to you. The throne once fraught with war I’ll create But the crown fits like it’s all the same Now I’ll demonstrate an impact like never seen You won’t contend stripped of these notions of sovereignty By forces within me that brought you to your knees When confronted with the truth of which I speak

Lost Deep 03:24
Inside you shake Inside you rivers open and take shape Behind your face It rains until impulse can’t be contained How long you stay A testament to what drives me insane Lost in your taste Deep down where all of you is mine to take Deep in the wake The oceans take you to your sacred place And here you’re safe Where none of your inhibitions remain How long you stay A testament to what drives me insane Lost in your taste Deep down where all of you is mine to take I drive until the sirens start to fade You rage until you can not feel your face I see the depths of reason you won’t keep That tarnish the only veil you can’t see We’re disingenuous Refuse to feel No compromising When truths are revealed Truths colored and tinged To preconceive What’s real and spoken As only a dream Where symbols disintegrate How long you stay A testament to what drives me insane Lost in your taste Deep down where all of you is mine to take

All that’s left to say I won’t let it be locked away in me You hold no key to dissuade When your truth escapes it’s only meaning Watch this lie we live Break like your hollow promises I’m the one you think you know As I traverse these alter egos May the proletariat drink to this In irony in agony I swore to you that I would die for this Now grab the gun You’ll see no plea behind these eyes I truly don’t give a fuck Whether I live or die My legacy remains Dead or alive Take me you’ll feed until your heart’s content Parasite within bring forth the end Where time stands still you’ll breed And take control again This two dimensioned cult One side plays off your hatred one side takes hold Of your self construct it seethes And neither side ascends With the hand you dealt I bet you thought that you could have me sold Have me sold You push me to the edge And spill the blood until no remnants are left Because red looks good on you Lift me up again Take so I can give myself away Something to hold on to You pushed me to the edge Pushed and pulled until no remnants were left Red shrouds and soothes you Lift me up again Take so I can give myself away There’s nothing to hold onto Nothing to hold onto Hearts built like motorcycle engines Horizon light takes us Hearts built like motorcycle engines Lie heavy light breaks us

Your counterfeit smile Skin like paper Ghost encoded Slave by nature Nothing’s enough for you Nothing’s sacred here Endless angles The stars above breath Correspondence Meaningless dreams You seem to take control When nothing’s within reach
